Been pottering about with hard disks the last couple of nights,got a old 40 gig hard disk from a different puter so decided to rig that as a spare,clean operating system,drivers ect,anyway formated the disk using the XP disk manager formated ok reports itself as 40 gig stuck the win98 disk in and it formatted it again for some reason, not fat32 file system?
Now I only have windows XP Pro upgrade disk,so I have to load windows 98 SE on the disk first then upgrade to win XP,did this with another disk no probs last night and on numerous other occasions tried with this newly formatted disk,it starts to load ie windows files ect, then report unable to load windows,insuficient memory? what does this mean? I have 2 gig of ram in the machine, it says something about removing memory resident progs?
Any help here appreciated.
Been hitting this forum hard last few days.
